This collection brings together many of Winnicott's most important pieces, including previously unpublished talks and several essays from books and journals now difficult to maintain. They range widely in topic - from "The Concept of a Healthy Individual" and "The Value of Depression" to "Delinquency as a Sign of Hope" - and elucidate some of Winnicott's seminal ideas, such as the "transitional object" and the concept of a false self. All convey Winnicott's vision of the ways in which the developing self interacts with the family and the larger society.
